Hello,
while I don't know of such a project implemented in Racket, I use this
C library sometimes, which does a decent job for unit parsing and
conversions:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/
You could control it easily through the Racket FFI, an example module
is attached to this mail, which can be used like this:
(require "udunits.rkt")
(convert-units 1.23 "m/s" "knots")
Ciao,
Thomas
